I looked at the online tree which does have Rachel Watterson, daughter of John Watterson and Margaret McMinn married to James E. Watterson, son of James Watterson and Mary, and this James is son to the same George Watterson and Elizabeth who are the parents of John Watterson married to Margaret. So if the senior James and John are siblings, then James E. and Rachel are cousins - right?
But.... the John on findagrave,  is possibly not the one married to Margaret McMinn. For sure, he is not the son of Joseph Watterson and Mary Woods since he was born PA. The only clue to who he is, is that he is the grandson of  Belle. That bears further research. If Isaac is his brother, does Isaac have grandmother Belle? I guess that means either Joseph Watterson's mother or Eliza Ann Smith's mother is named Belle.
